Natalie Novak Perez

I was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. I started snorkeling at age four. Then I earned my Open Water Certification at the age 14, and I am still passionately addicted to diving! I been diving for just over 15 years now, and I am proud to say that I learned to dive before I learned to drive.

Before deciding to dive full time, I completed an Honors Degree in Theater and a four-year degree in Psychology. I love introducing people to the underwater world, and this is why I became a PADI Open Water SCUBA Instructor. On Friday nights I also enjoy singing with my blues band in Playa del Carmen. Ask me where we are playing!
